THE ANANDA SURUCI PROGRAMME
What you’ll experience at our Yoga Detox Retreats
A thoughtful blend of fasting, yoga, meditation, nourishing food and natural therapies—held in the peaceful countryside of Southern Taiwan.
SIX COMPLEMENTARY PRACTICES
A whole-person approach to rest and renewal.
Every part of the programme has a purpose: to create enough space for your body to rest, your mind to settle and healthy routines to become easier to see. The pace is gentle, the guidance is practical and no previous yoga or meditation experience is required.
01
Cleaning your system
Regular fasting offers the digestive system a restorative pause and encourages the body to draw on stored energy more efficiently. On fasting days—and when you break your fast—you’ll drink lemon water with salt. Together, fasting and this simple practice can support a lighter, clearer feeling and the body’s natural elimination processes.
02
Morning and evening yoga
Our yoga sessions are suitable for every level, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. Gentle movement, stretching and twisting are paired with mindful breathing to support physical wellbeing. The practice also develops steadiness and inner calm, helping you meet thoughts and emotions with greater awareness, balance and compassion.
03
Meditation
Meditation is a quiet, intentional time to return to the present moment and observe your breath, body sensations, thoughts and emotions with curiosity and without judgement. As awareness deepens, you begin to understand your patterns more clearly: what truly nourishes you, what drains you and what guides your choices.
04
Nutrition classes
Our health and nutrition classes explain how a balanced, wholesome diet supports lasting wellbeing. We focus on a vegetarian, plant-rich approach, adequate water and practical habits that support comfortable digestion and steady energy. You’ll leave with simple ideas that can be continued naturally at home.
05
Cleansing mud packs
Mud packs are a traditional natural therapy used to cool, cleanse and refresh the body. Applied to selected areas, the cool earth can feel deeply soothing and may help ease everyday muscle or joint discomfort. The practice offers a simple, grounding way to reconnect with nature during the retreat.
06
A clean slate for your next chapter
Many guests experience the retreat as a turning point in their relationship with food, their bodies and themselves. Alongside rest and renewal, we share practical knowledge so you can continue the most useful practices independently—returning home with clarity, confidence and a realistic path forward.
REST. RECONNECT. RENEW.
